| Message | I wonder what's the difference between "living wage" and "can support a family of four without falling under the poverty line"... We oppose because the proposed regulation 'could' be to high, could discourage employers to (inexperienced) employ employees. |

| Message | I don't know the difference either really. I'm just went with this because it provides support for one person, not the entire family. |
